Error: Active PB journal required

Issue

I'm calculating transmittal amounts but I keep getting an error that says, "Active PB journal required." What does this mean? How do I fix it?

 

Explanation

If the GL interface is set up to update transactions to the general ledger and you're using a journal code that doesn't begin with CDPT. The system is searching for a CDPT (Cash Disbursements for Payroll Transmittals) journal to update transmittal transactions to. If it can't find a CDPT journal (or a journal that starts with CDPT),  the system will display the Active CDPT Journal Required error message.

 

Solution

To fix this issue, 

  • Check if the GL interface is set up with a CDPT journal. 

  • Make sure there's a CDPT journal set up in the general ledger. 

  • Change the journal code in the Calculate Transmittal Amounts view to a CDPT journal.
